Mods should be banning people who downvote content that is well-cited and high effort

I haven’t even seen an instance with a sidebar that explains what the downvote button is for.

It has gotten much worse in the past year, but I blame the instance admins and mods for not even trying to educate their users

Oof, who wants to vote with Regan? She basically already lost

Its just one useful tool

Downvote are an important method for controlling misinformation. We do need better info in side bars informing users what the button is for and what it is not for

It was some CCC talk, but it wasn’t a child and it wasn’t a blender. Might have been a Tesla, can’t remember

Anyway if a manufacturer is dumb enough to put WiFi in a dishwasher or blender, its not safe to assume that someone with too much time on their hands won’t be able to make it flood or catch fire.

Thats what people said about internet connected blenders, until the neighborhood kid hacked into it and used it to burn down their neighbors house

Won’t the neighbor’s kid just hack into it and flood your kitchen, then?

No, better to disable it physically

I wouldn’t trust that. Better to remove it physically

rclone

You should call the local police office ahead of time and tell them you’re going to operate an exit node. Then literally label everything so that when they come in the future, they know what to take. Like I said, its best to literally have this project in its own room. Like a closet. So its very clear which equipment is used for your exit node.

Again, the Tor Project provides boilerplate letters for these things. Law enforcement usually thanks you. Remember, they use Tor too. Of course, most officers are dumb, but at least someone in their office should know about Tor at this point.

Get a distinct line in a dedicated room.

That way when they confiscate all the equipment, it will only be the equipment used on that Tor network.

This is the official advise from the Tor project, by the way

EU countries are going full in fighting to protect privacy right now.

Its a battle and there’s people in the government in both sides. Germany has actually been one of the best Member States in the EU preventing erosion of privacy.

Governments are made up of many different people, frequently with differing goals

e2ee chats are super annoying. They don’t sync between desktop and mobile, so almost nobody will use them,

Even if I insist they do and create a secret chat, they’ll message me back in an unencrypted chat because they changed to their other device.

This isn’t an issue on Wire and Matrix

What are the last 2 referencing?

So twitter needed a thot detector that calculated skin exposed percent, and put that into everyone’s feed? Then vine woulda taken off, you reckon?

That’s totally different from a velomobile. Did you read the article?

This. Why the heck would anyone use Nord VPN?

Israel is not “The Jews”. The biggest money coming into Israel is coming from Christians. And loads of Jews are anti-zionists

But what are the licenses?
